ABSTRACT
People living in households without access to a car are very restricted in their travelling. The bus connections primarily supply trips to school and places of work. The study of the travel pattern showed that travelling to and from one’s own village was strongly restricted in the most sparsely populated area in the countryside. Taxi trips made by the passengers benefiting from transport service who participated in the experiment increased more than the trips made by all the passengers benefiting from transport service within the experiment area. Travelling service passengers were allowed to go by bus for half the normal bus fare. Transport service passengers were allowed to go by bus free of charge. Complementary to the experiment with trip co-ordination a limited trial with an expanded bus timetable was made based on a “social contract” between the local authority and the people living in the area.
